Battles are a lot more fluid in this game. After going back I found random encounters tiresome and way too time consuming. Thank the good lord that Square made XII and created one of the best battle systems in gaming ever! Good-bye random, encounters we won't miss you.
Battles in XII felt slow, boring, and tedious. Moreso than in any previous FF game, including VIII, which is saying something. This is probably because the battles required no input whatsoever, and never really ended until you reached a city, but either way, I hated the battle system and long for the return of a more turn based system.
